I'm getting defensive because I said I had nothing to save and your response was questioning what I was doing for my child as if this was my fault.

Because here is what I said:

These “you should have saved for retirement” people really piss me off, especially the “you should have cut out luxuries” assholes. Bitch, I’m like the 62% of the rest of America that lives paycheck-to-paycheck. What luxuries? The occasional chai latte to make my life slightly more bearable? Buying my daughter Taco Bell once in a while to see her smile?

If I have to work for decades and deny myself any comfort for those decades just to have some comfort for the last 10-20 years of my life? Fuck that.

In response to that, you said:

If your not even planning on saving for yourself what are you going to do for your daughter?

As if I could plan for my daughter's financial future if I just didn't have a latte and buy my daughter Taco Bell once in a while rather than not have savings because I'm fucking poor.

Can't imagine why that would make me defensive.

What's next, telling me it's my fault for not being wealthy?
